The 2004 season
A difficult season that ended with a coaching change mid-year. The first-grade side was coached by Daniel Anderson, then Tony Kemp. Wahpedia catalogues 4 distinct 2004 Warriors designs in total, 3 of them first-grade match jerseys, all listed on the 2004 season page.
Maker and sponsor
Puma made the Warriors' on-field jerseys from 2000 to 2008, so this design belongs to the Puma era of the club's kit. The front-of-jersey sponsor in 2004 was Vodafone, the club's principal partner of the period.
Collector's notes
Heritage jerseys are one-season retail releases and tend to hold their value better than the same year's home strip, especially designs that revive the 1995 look. To check a 2004 heritage jersey, compare the neck and hem labels with the maker for that season (Puma), make sure the sponsor set matches 2004 rather than a neighbouring year, and compare stitching, collar and sponsor placement against the photo above. Replicas are usually a looser cut in a lighter fabric than player-issue jerseys, which also carry a number and, in most eras, a tighter athletic fit.
